A small ion thruster made from tin foil and wire. Decent thrust despite being crude.

No one likes a smart ass.

It does not make much sence to call aluminum foil - tin foil. These are different chemical elements )))

try using two circular framed meshes (one copper one aluminium) in front of eachother!

It smells good...yum

That is awesome! Like a TIE Fighter...is this simple to make?

@SamuraiPirate88 I think so. It is powered by a small 12 volt transistor oscillator driving a flyback transformer out of an old TV.

What's voltage did you use?

@PoliomanGamer I was probably using something in the range of 40,000 volts.

Can you tell us how to make one

@therammak The thruster works because of the shape. It is just a ring for a cathode with a anode probe inside. When you apply high voltage DC, the energy flows in one dirrection from anode to cathode and ionized air moves with it.
